    Hello everyone, I'm Giorgio, from Italy; I need some help.
    After 3 / 4 years in the box (!!!) I try to use again my CCD 8300 with the filter wheel FW8G-STT.
    In 2014 they worked well together !
    Now I have a problem: the filter wheel is not responding to the command (CCDOPS v. 5.57).
    It doesn't move. I opened it, no mechanic issue, nor electric, wheel rotates very good and smooth by hand.

    The error message of CCDOPS is :

    THE CFW REPORTED THAT IS BUSY

    What do you suggest ?
    Thanks anyway
